LOTR is the usual go to for epic bible like fantasy. Another great series I’ve started is The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart which chronicles the life of Merlin and King Arthur but in a slightly more realistic depiction. If that’s a genre you think you’d enjoy I highly recommend it. For epic sci-fi not much compares to Dune so far that I’ve found but I would recommend Andy Weir, specifically Project Hail Mary because it’s so detailed.
Richard Swan's Empire of the Wolf trilogy is fantastic
For epic high fantasy - Patrick Rothfuss' Name of the Wind is phenomenal, the only downside is the third book is not been published yet and idk if it ever will be. I also agree with Nat that LOTR is also a good choice in the high fantasy like Game of Thrones. Nothing I've read compares to Dune at all :(
But if you're looking for good Sci-Fi try Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, it's very original and is an amalgamation of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.
Brandon Sanderson is a good go-to for epic fantasy. His Stormlight Archive series is ongoing and I think it's very good. He's got multiple series going at once, though, and many of them exist in a shared universe.The other I recommend is R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing and Aspect Emperor series. Together, it's something like eight books long. They're very grim and very dark, but I loved them.
For high fantasy, you could try Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. 14 Books. It will take you a while to read but it is well worth it. Robert Jordan passed away and Brandon Sanderson wrote the last 3 books, finishing the series for him.
I'm currently on book 3 of the Mistborn Series by Brandon Sanderson. It's a great epic fantasy. I am loving it. It does not have the same type of relationship matter that GOT has.
Try The Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abraham
You might like the Ringworld Series by Larry Niven - out of this world . . .
Robin Hobbs, the Liveship Traders trilogy.
Another suggestion - have you read the PERN books by Anne McCaffrey? The first one -Dragonflight - started as short stories in Analog Science Fiction Magazine, and are therefore a bit clumsy, but they do set the scene nicely for the follow-ups. The stories and writing gets better as the series progresses.
I love Pern! Always have. Not so sure I like her son's book as he tried continuing the series. But I do love them! One of my goto feel good series. The Harper Hall trilogy is a good into to the series for younger readers. Who doesn't like Piemur?
try some Joe Abercrombie, grimdark fantasy.
Glenn Cook - Chronicles of The Black Company - 10 books in the series Glenn Cook - Garrett Series - about a Private Eye in a fantasy world
I have read both several times over the years
I've read several books in the Pern series; there are so many of them! I liked some of the mid-series books the best, like the ones involving time travel.
Fantasy Joe Abercrombie (First Law series)John Gwynne (The Faithful & the Fallen series)
Sci-Fi The expanse series or
Red rising series
falling kingdoms! they're more YA but have an amazing plot!!
The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov
The Daughter Of Empire by Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts
John Gwynne has several book series simular
if it's about what challenges you while reading then i would say "the name of the rose"
The emperor's blades by Staveley, Brian.Prince of Thorns by Lawrence, Mark.
Interesting worlds, gritty.
After I finished reading Dune I read Mickey7 because it felt very akin to Duncan Idaho and what he goes through. It did not disappoint and was honestly a great follow-up to the Dune series
Try out Lies of Locke Lamora. I just finished it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I am on to book 2!
Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson
If you like Epic Fantasy with Mages, Orcs, Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, Goblins etc, then I recommend any of the series by Paul J Bennett.
Please check out The Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwynne.
Lit fic is a good thing to read after you're done!
The Saxon Stories Series by Bernard Cornwell. I loved the TV series, based on his books!The Last Kingdom
The Hyperion series is absolutely fantastic. The first book starts a little slow but it’s one of the most creative all consuming fantasies I’ve ever read. It’s more science fiction, but it’s still a fantasy series.
The Cruel Prince, Powerless, The Prison Healer (100000% one my favourites!)
